Windows EnvironmentIn the Local Area Network printing environment, the PCs canshare a printer, that is, different users can use the sameprinter.Software installation must be carried out on every PC requiringaccess to the Compuprint printer. For the communicationbetween the PCs and the Compuprint printer is necessary thatthe same LAN protocol is used for all connected devices: theTCP/IP or the NetBEUI protocol in a Windows environment

Software Installation & Configuration inWindows 98 EnvironmentPort InstallationCheck that the Printer is powered on and the Green Power led ofthe LAN Interface Port is lit.Insert the CD-ROM labeled Documetation & Driver.1. Run the “Compuprint PP” program from the

Drivers\Microsoft\Print Port directory. The CompuprintPrint Port Install Shield Wizard screen appears:

2. Follow the Compuprint Print Port Setup programinstructions. This program installs the Compuprint printport.

Linux 7.x & Solaris 7.x Operating SystemsTo configure the printer for the Linux 7.x and Solaris 7.xoperating systems, follow the corresponding proceduredescribed below:

Configuring a Remote Printer for the Red HotLinux 7.x Operating System1. Open the “/etc/hosts” file as root user in a Terminal windows.2. Add the IP address and the Printer Name information.

Here is an example of an “/etc/hosts” file:Ip-address Printer-name10.0.128.220.1 prt110.0.128.220.2 prt2

3. Type “printconf-gui&” from a prompt.4. Click New button. You are asked to enter a queue name for

the printer. Type the queue name you want.5. Then select “Type of queue”. Select Unix Printer (lpd queue)

in the “Queue type” box.6. Insert the printer name used in “/etc/hosts” file (i.e. prt1 or

prt2 ) in the “Server” or “Remote Hosts” box.7. Insert the local spool directory (where the print jobs for the

Unix computer are to be placed) in the “Queue” or “SpoolDirectory” box.

8. Select text only in the “Printer Driver” box. Set up theconfiguration you want and then click OK button.

9. Click File ->Save Changes in the “printconf-gui” window.10. Restart lpd to have (let) the printer daemon receive the new

printer entry.

If the print job is rejected when it is sent to test the printer, ask theremote computer’s administrator to check permission in the

“/etc/lpd.perms” file.

3. Type “admintool&” in a Terminal windows.

4. Select Browse button and then Printers.

5. Select Edit->Add->Access to Print in the “AdmintoolPrinter Menu”.

6. Insert the printer name you want in the “Printer Name”box.

7. Insert the printer name used in “/etc/hosts” file (i.e. prt1or prt2) in the “Printer Server” box.

8. Click Apply and then OK button.

Now you are ready to use the printer.

AS/400 Environment

Configuring AS/400 for ASCII(TCP/IP protocol)

Configuring with ADDTCPIFC

ADDTCPIFC is used to add a TCP/IP interface to AS/400.

This step configures the AS/400 for connection to a TCP/IPnetwork.

1. At the AS/400 command line, enter the followingcommand:

ADDTCPIFCINTNETADR(′127.000.000.000′)LIND(ETHLAN)SUBNETMASK (′255.255.254.000′)

This screen should look like the following one:

Internet address 127.000.000.000.…………………………….. :

Subnet mask 255.255.254.000………………………………… :

Line description ETHLAN………………………………:

To specify the IP-address and the Subnet Mask, see the valuesset respectively in the INIT IP ADDRESS and INIT NET MASKparameters of the LAN INTERFACE item in the Power-OnConfiguration setup you find in the User Manual included inthe Printer Documentation & Driver CD-ROM.

Configuring a Router Definition withADDTCPRTEIf necessary, use the ADDTCPRTE command to create a routedefinition. This is required if the printer is somewhere otherthan on a local segment.

Configuring a Local Domain and Host NameThe AS/400 print commands require a local name and hostname. If you have already configured LAN attached TCP/IPprinters on the AS/400 system, you will have a local domainname and hostname configured on the system.

To configure the local domain, you will run the CFGTCOcommand.

Configuring a TCP/IP Host Table EntryAlthough it is optional to create a TCP/IP host table entry, it issuggested that you take this step. Add the AS/400 name andthe LAN IP address to the “Host Table Entries”.

Configuring AS/400 for PrintingThe procedure for configuring an AS/400 for printing requiresthat you:

1. Setup the printing capability

2. Verify the setup with a print job.

In order to accomplish this configuration, you need thefollowing information:

a) Remote Printer Queue Name

Set for any of ‘pr1’ through ‘pr4’.

The Remote Printer Queue name must be all lower case.

b) IP Address

See the IP Address value set in the INIT IP ADDRESSparameter of the LAN INTERFACE item in the Power-OnConfiguration setup you find in the User Manualincluded in the Printer Documentation & Driver CD-ROM.

Setting up Printing for ASCII FilesThe next step in configuring the AS/400 is to setup the remoteprinting capability. There are two ways to do this:

• you can specify the LPR parameters manually eachtime you send a file to the printer.

• use remote writer and a remote output queue forautomatic printing to the printer.

To Use LPR Manually1. Start TCP/IP, if it not already running, by entering the

STRTCP command

2. At the AS/400 command line, enter ‘LPR’.

3. The following example shows only the parameters youneed to specify:

Remote System RMTSYS INTNETADRPrinter Queue PRTQ d1prn

Destination Type DESTTYP OTHER

Transform SCS to ASCII TRANSFORM YES

Manufacturer Type and MFRTYPMDL IBM6400EPModel

Internet Address INTNETADR 127.000.000.000.

where,

Remote System: enter the host name of your printer orINTNETADR, which then prompts you to specify the IPaddress of your printer.

Printer Queue: set to “pr1” through “pr4”. The remote printerqueue name must be all lower case, entered in single quotes.Destination Type: specify “OTHER” for the DESTTYPparameter.

Transform: specify “YES”.

Manufacturer Type and Model: select a manufacturer type andmodel. Select “IBM6400EP” for Epson emulation or “IBM6400”or “IBM42023” for IBM Proprinter.

Internet Address: specify the IP address of the printer.

where,

Output queue: enter the name of the AS/400 output queue.Remote System: enter the host name of your printer orINTNETADR, which then prompts you to specify the IPaddress of your printer.Remote Printer Queue: set to “pr1” through “pr4”. The remoteprinter queue name must be all lower case, entered in singlequotes.Writer to Autostart: set the value to “1”.Connection Type: specify this value as “IP”.Destination Type: specify “XAUTOQXAIX”.Transform: specify “YES”.Manufacturer Type: select a manufacturer type and model.Select “IBM6400EP” for Epson emulation or “IBM6400PR” or“IBM42023” for IBM Proprinter.Internet Address: specify the IP address of the printer.

The IP Address must correspond with the IP Address set in the INIT IPADDRESS parameter of the LAN INTERFACE item, see the User Manualincluded in the Printer Documentation & Driver CD-ROM.

The “Printer Web Page” screen appears:

This Printer Web Page contains the following types ofinformation about network printers:

Printer Configuration: current printer status that you canconfigure by remote control.Printer Status: current ribbon and print head life.Printer Reset: feature to reboot the printer.Product support: reference to contact CPG.
